ThoughtForDay - June 24

June 24~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quick Thought:

Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that whenthey speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe,glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:11-12 (NKJ)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 5:35-43While He (Jesus) was still speaking, they came from the synagogue official, saying,"Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?" But Jesus, overhearingwhat was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, "Do not be afraid, only believe."And He allowed no one to follow with Him, except Peter and James and John the brotherof James.

And they came to the house of the synagogue official; and He beheld a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. And entering in, He said to them, "Why makea commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughingat Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child's father and mother andHis own companions, and entered the room where the child was.

And taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translatedmeans, "Little girl, I say to you, arise!"). And immediately the girl rose and beganto walk; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this; and He said thatsomething should be given her to eat. Mark 5:35-43 (NAS)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Romans 8:35-39Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, orpersecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Just as it is written, "For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
